While Microsoft had been previously beating out the Playstation 3 for many years, it seems the tables have turned, as the Playstation 3 has surpassed the Xbox 360 in worldwide sales.
In a report by the IDC, a total tally of worldwide sales of the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 puts the Playstation 3 now at 77 million sales and the Xbox 360 at 76 million.
The Playstation got off to a notoriously rough start, launching at a $599 price tag. In recent years however, Sony has implemented some drastic price cuts and redesigns of the console to help close the gap.
